We would like to hear from anybody placed in Beechholme from 1950 to its close in 1974. Were you abused, beaten or bullied? Please contact us, as we are here to help.
NOTE FROM WEBMASTER: Please note that the Banstead History Research Group has no connection with this organisation however after careful consideration we have allowed the comment as it may be of help to some visitors to this website. We can also confirm that as a local history group we do not hold any personal records of any residents or members of staff. Many records retained at Beechholme were destroyed by the contractor hired to demolish the buildings as no one ever came back to collect them.

Would appreciate any information about the home from that time.
